The School of Humanities is where future leaders, communicators, scholars, CEOs, storytellers, creatives, directors, writers, and entrepreneurs come to get their start. Humanities disciplines—history, literature, philosophy, art history, film and media, and cultural studies—are multifaceted but their different branches have one thing in common: all focus on the human capacity to make meaning. Across millennia, human beings have striven to understand our world and transform it with fresh creations of the mind. From the humblest manifestations of everyday culture to the grand edifices of art, literature, and conceptual thought, the humanities investigate how human beings make meaning as individuals and as communities.
